Allegorical symbolism on Dollar bill.

There is much controversy on this topic.  Using a Google search, I encountered a site entitled "Jesus-is savior.com" wherein references to Satan were promulgated.  The authors wrote that the symbolism on the U.S. dollar is tantamount to "evil" by the Illuminati, the Freemasons and other tax exempt foundations or entities.  The authors cited that these organizations influence government into wars and manipulate the manner by which education is founded and executed in America.

It struck me as being curious that organized religion does the same.  Religious wars date as far back as recorded history, exist today and will persist into the foreseeable future.  Children are indoctrinated by their forebears into hatred and prejudice directed toward anyone who does not share in their beliefs.  

The irony is that religious indoctrination is fact whereas Satan and adjunct references to Satanism is not supported by any empirical evidence and is shrill, intolerant and sanctimonious paranoia by those who force their believes by preying on the fears of people.  Furthermore, I know of no church, cult, website authors, or creationists that would refuse a "Satanic Dollar" or a trainload of them.

The symbolism on the U.S. Dollar works for me regardless of it's meaning.  It is legal tender for anyone who possesses them including those who choose to undermine the true meaning.  I challenge any religious zealot to prove that Satan even exists.  As such, the only thing more ridiculous is the Adam and Eve fable.
